Both House and Senate are meeting today. Teachers! We need you now. We shamed the House into rejecting the bad funding bill because we stood as witnesses, and we won!

But we need you now! I know it's Sunday, but there are people who say you should have fewer rights than an accused criminal. Grab your phone and chargers, and get in your car and come to Topeka. The nation is watching us. Your students are in need. What will you say years from now about this day? That you stood in the gap? Or that you stayed home?
